i agree with arimiko with the vinyl idea. i was even thinking about getting the vinyl printed with an "ocean depth" design/pattern (my cousin does screen printing and car wrapping). and if i dont like it, i still have the option to change

i'm looking to buy a custom tank and make my own overflow covers. i'm probably gonna go with the holes on bottom of tank.

I undsrstand the whole tempered glass scenario. And no im not trying to go that route. i was thinking that the benefit of "making your own" reef ready tank was more space for unions and valves in plumbing, more floor space for aquascaping asas well as more water content seeing that it is only a...

hello MR-ers. whats your opinion on overflow box size in regards to full height of tank (holes on bottom panel of tank) VS. "a box on the back wall" (holes on the rear)? each has their pros and cons but i'd like to hear from others.

dimensions?

yes but how often? and what size tank?

hello all, im doin some research for a custom sump and was wondering how often do an "average" person change/ wash their filter sock? i kno everyone's tank is goin to be different based on bio load and size. but just lookin for a round figure. ALSO if it would make any difference in...

I'v been doin some research on the web as well as MR about acrylic glue and alot of what i'm seeing used in fish tanks are Weld-on products. now i dont have a problem buying the product and fabricating my project myself but time is money. and was wondering if i had a glass shop cut and put...
